Ganeral Logan,s Book

new YORK, April 16.-The statement
that General Logan's forthcoming book,
1.-The Volunteer Soldier in America,
which is now in the press of R. S. Peale
& Co., of Chicago. will contain letters
from General Sherman of a COM
promising character is denied by the
publisher. The book contains several
letters from General Sherman to Gen
eral Logan regarding the appointment
of General o. .. Howard to the COM
mand of the Third Army Corps after
the battle Shiloh; but all are OF
friendly nature. The report. ciTcu-
lated that the sherman family have
tried TO suppress these letters, is also
denied By Mr.. Peale. The book IS
likely to create q. controversy. but it
will not contain any document not
creditab!e to Sherman and to Logan as
his friend.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 16.-Private
advices from the secretary of the

steamer Mariposa, state that strong
efforts are being made by the Canadian
Pacific Railroad representatives to
secure the carrying of the Australia
and New Zealand mails for Canada and
England by steamers from those
colonies to British Columbia and over
the Canadian Pacific road. Their
propositions, so far, have not. been
favorably received, the colonial author

transit over the Uulted States roads,
and are disposed to give preference to
the latter, Notwithstanding the strong
inducements held out by the Canadian

SOME SHEEP STATISTIC !.
The Number of Ovines Existing in

The recent report of the Agricultural
Bureau places the number OF sheep in
the United States at a, 759. 314. This is
probably an under estimate, since it
does not include the ranch sheep of
some OF the Territories; but EVENT. the
docks OF the United States did not
exceed the Agricultural D apartments
hgures, they would still Surpass those of
most other nations, and would show the
great Importance of the wool interests
of our country. From the latest statis-
tics of sheep husbandry in Australia, we
find that the aggr1 gate number of sheep

81 600 66S. More than half OF these are
in New South Wales.
In New Zealand the number of sheep
at last accounts was Ii .624 SAT, and III
Tasmania, .684 ,627. In Africa the prin-
cipal wool growing colony is the Cape
OF Good Hope, where there are IL ,279,-
743 sheep, yielding the Cape WOOL"
which is imported into the United
States to some extent. There are also
5056, 30l sheep in the Orange Free
State, 535, 4S2 in the Natal Colony; and
$685. S3 in Algiers. The number of
sheep in SAlgiers is decreasing, the

In South America there are 76. 900 COO
sheep in the Argentine Republic, 10

Unfortunately, we have not been able
to obtain sheep husbanfry in Brazil.
Next to Australia the severest compeUi-
ton OF American wool-groweIs comes
from Uruguay and the Argentine

Much wool is brought into the United
States from Russia, but it is mostly of a

February 18th, seventeen days from

which sighted the burned huiA oH
FebrnarU 18th. Ever since the greatest
anPiatg has prevailed here regarding
H. fate af those aboard. Captain Nler-
az of tha P1i1ten, to-day, related the
foiioWing story of the vessels burning:
IN Feh-1arv 18th fire was discovered
IN the room, occupied by the second
engineer. All efforts TO extinguish the
Are nv water were unavailing. Almost
o. soon as the flames were discovered,
fbev hurst out and enyeloped that part
oF the steamer where the fire origin
ated. While some OF the crew
WERE FIGHTING THE FIRE
others lowered two boats. The largest
Ufe.b,az was in the midst of the flames
and could not be saved. Within fifteen
minutes of the discovery of the fire, the
kerosene on deck was in flames and it
was impossible to remain on the vessel.
Every one got into the boats. There were
thirteen IN one and eleven in the other.
The FIRE was so sudden, no one was able
10 save anything. The ships boats were
always kept proYisioned; otherwise
those who escaped in them would have
starved 50 death. There was intense
suffering from the heat and lack OF
water. When all were

remained twelve days, being kindly

the passengers of the RGiatea, died the
day after the boats left the burning
vessel. His death resulted from in

rescued The persons on the vessel
comprised twenty of the crew, and
four passengers. All except Priel
